SCOPE
This general NS-1™ specification specifies the minimum quality and inspection requirements to be applied in the
manufacture of fishing tools manufactured primarily from low or medium alloy steel.

It applies to:

• Fishing Tools used downhole with non-rotary capacity

• All operating temperatures
• Non-Sour (non-NACE) service conditions
• All ’Hole’ sizes

Fishing Tools shall be in conformance with the requirements of the referenced sections of API RP 7G, API Spec.
7-1 & API Spec 7-2 (where applicable), supplemented by the requirements of this NS-1™ specification. If in
conflict, the requirements of this NS-1™ specification shall prevail.
The matrix of this NS-1™ specification provides a quality template that can be applied to any make and type of
Fishing Tools. When ordering spare parts or sub-assemblies, they should be ordered to this specification.

NOTES TO PURCHASER

1. For more details regarding the application of this NS-1™ specification, reference can be made to the "Intro-
duction Section" to NS-1™ on the original document.

2. It is assumed that as part of compliance with ISO 9001 the manufacturer has conducted Design Performance
Verification Testing and has documented test results to demonstrate conformance of the product to design
requirements.

3. Fearnley Procter Group has a product approval scheme running under NS-1™ and any Supplier or Manufac-
ture wishing to seek approval may do so by contacting NS-1info@fearnleyproctergroup.com.

SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements are supplementary to and shall be applied in conjunction with the quality subspecifi-
cations called out in the matrix of this NS-1™ Specification.

1. APPLICABLE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

1.1 API Spec. 7-1

1.2 API Spec 7-2
1.3 API RP 7G
1.4 ASTM A370
1.5 ASME IX

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 This specification covers Fishing Tools used for non-rotary fishing purposes.

2.2 Hardfacing shall be applied in accordance with ASME IX.

2.3 In designing the tool, the manufacturer shall have given consideration to the likely modes of failure of
the tool, the risk of leaving junk in the hole in the event of failure and what happens operationally in
the event of the tool ceasing to perform its function. They shall be capable of demonstrating to the
purchaser’s satisfaction that these issues have been addressed and the risks minimised.

3. WELDING

3.1 Welding shall be permitted on Fishing Tools in accordance with Sub-Spec. 30.1, Sub-Spec. 60.2 &
Sub-Spec. 60.3.

3.2 Strap welding is not permitted.

4. THREADED CONNECTIONS

4.1 Threaded connections shall be inspected and gauged in accordance with Sub-Spec 90.2.

4.2 Equipment used in ‘Fishing Operations’, with end connections that are machined connections in
accordance with API Spec.7-2, do not require stress relief features.

4.3 All new rotary connections shall be provided with a benchmark in accordance with the requirements
of API RP7G as a minimum. The preferred form of benchmark is an indicator which provides a 360°
reference around the connection. This type of benchmark is superior to the API one, in that it reveals
not only the extent of refacing but also how perpendicular the refaced seal is to the pipe’s axis.

Note: Various manufacturers can provide the preferred 360° benchmark form. The purchaser should
check with the supplier prior to manufacturer.

4.4 In designing service connections in the body of the tool, it is recognised that the manufacturer may
use proprietary styles of connection. In their design and testing, consideration must be given to
fatigue and minimising the risk of premature failure of such connections.

4.5 Connections shall be given a suitable corrosion resistant anti-galling surface finish.
Electrocopper-plating and phosphating in accordance with recognised standards are considered
suitable. No other type of anti-galling treatment shall be used without prior written agreement from
the purchaser.

4.6 All threaded end connections shall be thoroughly coated with a protective layer of an agreed thread
compound or preservation compound prior to shipment.

4.7 The threaded end connections shall be protected with heavy-duty reinforced plastic or pressed steel
thread protectors.

5. MATERIAL TESTING
(Ref. Sub-Spec. 10.1 & Sub-Spec. 10.4)

5.1 Sampling of Material

Load-bearing components shall be manufactured from materials tested in accordance with this
specification.

5.2 Chemical Analysis

Chemical analysis shall be carried out on a heat treatment lot basis, demonstrating conformance to
the manufacturer’s applicable material specification for all elements tabulated.

5.3 Tensile Testing

Tensile testing to ASTM A370 shall as a minimum, establish yield strength, tensile strength,
elongation and reduction in area on a heat treatment lot basis. Test specimens for the body shall be
taken from a location representative of the pin connection as shown in Appendix 2. Test specimens
for other main load-bearing material shall be taken from a suitable area representative of the main
load path of that piece.

5.4 Impact Testing (Ref. Sub-Spec. 150.1)

The Charpy ’V’ notch energy level shall be 42 joules (31 ft.lbf.) minimum average of three test
specimens tested at room temperature. No individual value shall be less than 32 joules (24 ft.lbf.).
Three longitudinal impact test specimens per heat treatment lot of material shall be taken from
approximately one inch below the O.D. surface of the material. The dimensions of test coupons shall
be established such that the physical test results realistically reflect the properties of the parts they
qualify. Test coupons shall comply with the requirements of ASTM A703 / A703M -S26.

5.5 Hardness Testing (Ref. Sub-Spec. 70.1)

The hardness of the body and other main load-bearing material shall be measured at room
temperature on a radial cross section at the locations shown in Appendix 1. Pre-heat treated bar
stock or mechanical tubing shall have a test specimen taken at least one radius from the end of the
bar/tube.

When material is rough machined (O.D. and I.D.) prior to final heat treatment, hardness tests shall
be carried out on a heat/heat treatment lot basis using a test sample of similar O.D. and I.D.
dimensions (taken at a location of max. wall thickness of a rough machined part). The length of the
test sample shall be at least equal to the sample O.D. The cross section specimen shall be taken at
mid length.

All hardness test results taken on a single cross section shall be within a range of 6 HRC points, with
no single value below 30 HRC (285 BHN). The absolute values shall meet the manufacturer’s
material specification.

6. MARKING
(Ref. Sub-Spec. 20.3)

6.1 Each assembly shall be provided with a marking recess located at a point that will see little or no
stress or wear on the O.D. of the main body member.

6.2 The recess shall be stamped in accordance with the requirements of Sub-Spec 20.3.

6.3 Size of the recess shall be in accordance with API Spec. 7.
